I Read 189 Loom Reviews So You Don't Have To

· 7 min read

I spent an afternoon reading every single Loom review on Trustpilot.

All 189 of them.

Loom's overall rating sits at 1.5 out of 5 stars. That's not a rounding error — 70% of reviewers gave it one star. For a product that was once described as "the tool that killed unnecessary meetings," this is a stunning collapse.

Here's what I found.

Portell Review: The Loom Alternative That Runs 100% in Your Browser

· 6 min read

If you've been using Loom and suddenly found your bill jumping from a few hundred dollars a year to tens of thousands — you're not alone.

Since Atlassian acquired Loom in early 2024 for around $975 million, teams across the internet have been dealing with price increases, service outages, and a support team that's seemingly impossible to reach. Loom's Trustpilot rating collapsed to 1.5 out of 5 stars (based on 189 reviews, with 70% being one-star).

So when a product like Portell shows up promising "record, share, done" — with no install and a flat $9/month price — it's worth a proper look.
